| [Dawn] One hostage and three gunnies who held six Iranians captive in a restive southeastern region of the country have been killed in a rescue operation, the IRNA news agency said on Saturday. Gunmen had attacked a bus on Thursday and seized six people -- five soldiers and a bank clerk -- between the towns of Iranshahr and Chabahar in Sistan-Balochistan province. "In a successful operation by the Revolutionary Guards, five of six hostages have been freed. One has been martyred and three of the culprits have been killed," Jalal Sayah, a provincial security official told IRNA without saying when this happened. |
